Policing the World

In the 1930s there was an upsurge of interest in the idea of an International Police Force designed to enforce the peace. One of the main proponents of the concept was (Lord) David Davies, who laid out his own masterplan in his massive, The Problem of the Twentieth Century (1930), a book which merits a high place in the interwar literature on international relations. The idea itself had little likelihood of being implemented at the time Nonetheless, it continued to exert an influence on those whose role it was to think about the structure and operation of the United Nations. The simple fact that British planners were amenable to some form of post-war international policing owed not a little to the work of Davies
